[Boost-users] [iostreams] Linker error

Hi,

with the following test program:

<code>
#include <boost/iostreams/filter/bzip2.hpp>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        return 0;
}
</code>

I get the linker error (MSVC 7.1):
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_bzip2-vc71-mt-1_33.lib'

A similar error occurs with "zlib.hpp" instead of "bzip2.hpp":
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_zlib-vc71-mt-1_33.lib'

I did not find this lib files in my Boost library directory, so I might
have missed something when I built Boost.

This is what I did:

- Got the sources for the bzip2 and the zlib libraries
- Built the libs
- Built Boost with this command line:

bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" "-sNO_COMPRESSION=0" "-sNO_ZLIB=0" 
   "-sZLIB_LIBPATH=c:/dev/Libraries/zlib/lib"
   "-sZLIB_INCLUDE=c:/dev/Libraries/zlib/include/zlib"
   "-sNO_BZIP2=0"
   "-sBZIP2_LIBPATH=c:/dev/Libraries/bzip2/lib"
   "-sBZIP2_INCLUDE=c:/dev/Libraries/bzip2/include/bzip2"
(without the line breaks of course)

The names of the bzip2 / zlib libraries are libbz2.lib and
zdll.lib, resp., and the paths are correct. I did not get any error messages
when building Boost, and I also did not get the "Building Boost.Iostream with
.. support disabled..." message.

Is there anything that I missed from the docs?

Best regards,
Klaus
